Orange Pippin

Orange Pippin is a website providing information on the different cultivars of apple, cherry and plums. It was established around 2005 by Richard Borrie, a database programmer who lives in England.[1] Currently, it carries a listing of over 2000 apple orchards and 600 apple cultivars,[2] and it is regarded as the most comprehensive resource for apple cultivars and orchards.[3]

Orange Pippin is named after England's most famous apple variety, the Cox's Orange Pippin which according to them, is widely regarded as the finest of all dessert apples.[4]
